I can't find anything online that looks like this. The green thorax suggests the Emperor, but the colour of the abdomen seems wrong.

Female Emperor, the males usually have blue abdomens, but the females are more variable, blue, green or browner. Colours can fade and change dramatically as dragonflies age also.
